ZeroFly® Hermetic Storage Bag is the only storage bag that protects post-harvest grains and seeds against external and internal insect attacks. The ground-breaking innovation offers small and medium size farmers and traders trouble-free storage for up to two years by integrating two technologies.

Slow release insecticide-incorporated outer bag ensures that no insects can attack the stored grain or seed for up to 24 months. The active ingredient included in the bag, deltamethrin, is a Food and Agriculture (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) approved pesticide for controlling insect pests. The active ingredient is incorporated into the individual yarns and slowly released onto the surface of the material in a controlled and sustained manner.

Research

Vestergaard S.A. primarily funds specific projects with specific outcomes. The grantee’s budget for each research agreement should reflect all of the expenses that are required for, and can be tracked directly to, the research project (i.e., direct costs). Vestergaard S.A. allows indirect costs up to 10 percent of the total project costs. For example, for project costs totaling $100,000 - up to $10,000 can be used for indirect costs and the remaining $90,000 can be applied toward project direct expenses. We understand that the indirect cost rates may not cover all of a grantee’s general operating costs, and grantees may need to use other resources to cover these costs.
